WEEK 5

[bathymetric]

That's three murders now - and this last trial got more than slightly out of hand. It looks like you might be in for another tough week... or at least, maybe that's just the refusal of this place to change too much. You lose Saturday again, but maybe six-day weeks are starting to feel normal by now. Who knows? The cycle of day and night continues apace, changing so little.

Speaking of change, though, there's a new area to look through, the biggest and most complex yet. And the end of one wing of the facility, from the looks of it - though you can probably guess where more areas might start to open up.

And speaking of opening up (segues!), this week if you're out particularly late, you might sometimes see Angel out and about! So hey, maybe change is on the horizon.

Just gotta hope it's a change for the better, don't you?



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to Week 5! Remember to turn in AC here, threads for regain coins here, and if you feel so inclined you can visit Angel's office hours over here! Or, if you want Angel to come to you, that's now an option! Simply put a prompt after lights-out into your toplevel and indicate you want Angel in the subject line, same as investigations! ]

Oh, nice. Have you talked to Mira? She was interested in making sure they're remembered too.

[She's kinda wondering why 7 spaces, but that seems rude to ask.]

[drladysounds]

She was...?

[Shelley's good mood deflates a little. She looks around, like she's making sure nobody is listening, and says:]

I'm not sure if I should ask her. She seemed pretty depressed during the afterparty, I dunno if I should make her remember we're dropping like flies. That's going to hit hard.

[And apparently Shelley doesn't seem to think Nova would, given how she says that so nonchalantly.

But still...she can't forget Nova's suggestion. She makes a mental note to ask Mira for help]

[reallyhatesharks]

[Personally, Nova thinks you just accept people die and move on but she gets that people cope differently. Fin coped by being a hero. She copes by not thinking about the people she's lost.]

Yeah, she's - she was doing a painting of Piers. You know, after he and Alice... [She just trails off.] But maybe you're right. Maybe it's better not to remind her.

[drladysounds]

[In the end she told Mira, because she couldn't bring herself to lie to her friend when she outright asked what this was all for...but she still would feel guilty about mentioning it]

Besides, we need to think positive if we want to defeat the Professor in his own game. If he sees us vulnerable, he'll attack, so we should all be as obnoxiously cheerful as we can. That'll catch him off-guard.

[Not that it's difficult for Shelley to come across as obnoxious at times, really]
